Van Morrison - Avalon Sunset Vinyl

Rummaging through our local second hand vinyl store I came across 17 albums that I simply had to buy.  Average price 0.99 to 2.50 each.  The first one I have played is Avalon Sunset by Van Morrison.  I only ever had this on CD but the Vinyl just brings it alive.  Even the duet with Cliff Richard on Whenever God Shines His Light, stand out on this vinyl.

There's something about vinyl that CD's just can't replace.  The large sleeve, inner liner notes and the record itself - this one sporting the famous red Polydor label, record number 839 262-1.  I can;t believe it was 22 years ago (1989) that this album first came out.  This one and Enlightenment (which I also picked up for 2.50) are surely the last albums that Van put out that are worthy of great praise?

Standout tracks on this one are Have I Told You Lately I Love you, Coney Island, These are the Days and Contacting My Angel (IMHO).  A great album from a great man. JP 09-10-2011.
